Generic ascii renderer

asciirend is a no_std compatible 3D rendering core. This crate renders objects in several stages:

• Primitive shading (similar to vertex shading, albeit works on whole primitives).
• Fragment shading.
• Additional text pass.

Fragments are shaded in full sRGB float color space, which then is quantized to characters with a dithering algorithm. This allows the image to have clearer color transitions, as opposed to direct character shading. This also means the rendering backend is agnostic to the available color space (so long as it's not HDR!), which is important for a generic no_std compatible renderer.

Examples

Please see examples/sample.rs for usage sample.

In addition, there are javascript and python samples that use wasm. The API surface is more limited, but it enables basic scene rendering. Please see web_sample, and python directories.
